FILM: Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price

A screening and discussion showing why many DC residents are concerned
about Wal-Mart's efforts to open 4 big box stores in the District of
Columbia.

Plymouth Congregational Church

5301 North Capitol Street, NE

Washington, DC, USA

Wal-Mart has plans to establish four stores in DC by 2012. Notorious
in other parts of the nation for threatening small businesses, causing
the loss of more jobs, and bringing lower wage standards for all
workers to communities, concerned District of Columbia citizens and
social justice organizers are coming together to resist the
implications of this disastrous plan.

Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price features the deeply personal
stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to
survive in a Wal-Mart world. It's an emotional journey that will
challenge the way you think, feel... and shop.

This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be
provided and a discussion about the impact Wal-Mart will have on the
District of Columbia will follow the screening.

Co-sponsors: Ward 4 Thrives, Wal-Mart Free DC, Empower DC, DC Jobs
With Justice, UFCW Local 400, IPS' Cities for Progress project, and
Plymouth Congregational UCC Board of Social Action.
